First Timothy 6:12 proclaims, “Fight the good fight of Faith....” The original text reads, “Fight the good fight of The Faith....” The only battle The Lord Jesus Christ calls us to engage, execute, conquer and overcome,daily, is the Good Fight of The Faith in Jesus Christ and the Finished Work of Him Crucified (First Corinthians 2:2)!
Hebrews 11:1 declares, “Now faith is the substance (our Title Deed to Eternal Glory in Christ’s Shed Blood on The Cross) of things hoped for (a declaration of the Violent ACTION of FAITH -- Matthew 11:12), the evidence of things not seen (Faith is not based upon the senses, emotion or circumstances, all of which yield uncertainty; but rather Faith’s Foundation is on The Word of God -- Jesus Christ and Him Crucified -- The Gospel of Jesus Christ)!” Glory!
Hebrews 11:6 proclaims, “But without Faith it is impossible to please Him....” Our Faith must be placed squarely in Jesus Christ and Him Crucified -- nothing else matters in the things of Heaven (First Corinthians 2:2)! Unless and until we place our Faith in Jesus Christ and His Finished Work of Calvary’s Cross -- place our Faith in Jesus Christ the Author and Finisher of our Faith -- we cannot please Almighty Father God (Hebrews 12:2)!
The Lord Jesus Christ is our Faith (Galatians 2:20)! The Lord Jesus Christ is our Substance -- our Title Deed (Hebrews 11:1); our Rock (First Corinthians 10:4); our Chief Cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20); our Essence (First Timothy 1:11-17); our Realization and our Reality (Philippians 3:9-10); our Identification (Romans 6:3-5) and our Victory (First Corinthians 15:57)! O Hallelujah to Messiah!
Our Faith is in the Man Jesus Christ and His Work on Calvary’s Cross -- Jesus Christ and His Finished Work of The Cross (John 19:30) -- our Faith is in the Person of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified -- Jesus Christ and the Message of The Cross (First Corinthians 2:2). Our Lord Jesus Christ was manifest to GO to the cross to destroy the works of the devil (First John 3:8) and our Faith is placed squarely in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus on Calvary’s Cross (Romans 3:25-26; John 19:30). Glory to the Lamb of God!
The Holy Spirit gives to every human being THE Measure of Faith to become Born Again -- to become saved by the Blood of The Lamb of God -- we are saved by Grace through Faith (John 3:3; Romans 12:3; John 1:29; Revelation 13:8; Ephesians 2:8)! Sadly, few exercise THE Measure of Faith to become Born Again and Saved -- indeed most reject THE Measure of Faith, thereby condemning themselves to eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10)! Those of us who exercise THE Measure of Faith -- Assent and Believe the WORD of God -- that the Word of God is TRUTH -- and by our willpower (which is the only time we invoke our willpower -- save our daily crucifying, denying, yielding, presenting, surrendering and consecrating self to Messiah and The Holy Spirit in the Sanctification Process -- Luke 9:23), Believe in our Hearts (in our spirit man) -- that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead by the Power of The Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:6; Romans 8:11; Second Timothy 2:8)! Those of us who are Born Again -- Believe (have Faith in), Confess, Receive and Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives (Matthew 1:21; Romans 10:9, 10, 13).
Once we are Born Again by denying and crucifying self, the old man and pride (Luke 9:23; Galatians 2:20; 6:14; Romans 6:6) -- coming through the Cross of Jesus Christ in humility, contriteness, sacrificial love and obedience -- the Holy Spirit blesses us with another THE Measure of Faith, which is our day to day Sanctifying Faith, ”... For the just shall live by Faith” (Romans 1:17) -- we keep on living by Faith in Christ and Him Crucified, daily! This “The Measure of Faith” causes us to become changed, conformed, increased and sanctified into the character and image of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ -- we are increased into Christlikeness (Romans 8:28-30; 12:1-2; Second Corinthians 3:17-18) -- to Live The Victorious and Abundant Resurrection Life in Christ Jesus (John 10:10) -- The Present Resurrection Life and Fellowship in/with our King, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ -- The Victorious Life pursuant to The Law of The Holy Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, which is the fulfillment and manifestation of the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant of the Cross of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified -- The Precious Lamb of God (Romans 6:1-14; 8:1-2, 11; Hebrews 13:20; John 1:29; Revelation 13:8)! Glory to the Lamb of God -- Who is The Mighty Lion of The Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5)!
As we live and abide in the Finished Work of the Cross of Jesus Christ in the Throne Room of Jesus Christ (John 15:1-8; Ephesians 2:6), we enforce the Victory of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified and the Power of His Resurrection by flowing in all of the Kingdom Anointing, Authority, Power, Strength, Wisdom, Dominion, Love, Fire, Brilliance, Radiance and Glory of Messiah; manifested through the Gifts of The Father, the Gifts of The Son and the Gifts of The Holy Spirit (Luke 10:19; Matthew 16:18-19; Second Corinthians 10:3-5). Hallelujah to The Lamb of God!
We respectfully invite you to join us in our Great Excursion and Exploration of the Doctrine of FAITH; and we pray and trust that you are comforted, edified and encouraged by The Holy Spirit of The Living God (John 14:26; Ephesians 4:11-14)! Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
